Wine Review: This terrific Riesling is pale straw colored and opens with a mild lychee like bouquet with a hint of pilsner beer and peach. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very well balanced, and pleasantly sweet. The flavor profile is a delicious mild peach and ripe apple blend with hints of lychee and delicate minerality. The finish remains delicately sweet and sensuous. This Riesling is a perfect wine for a date night with a green apple and sharp cheese platter to share with someone you really like. There is not much of this great wine, find some soon. Ready, set, go! - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The Doctorberg Riesling Spätlese comes with yellow and ripe fruit like ripe pineapple, peach and apricot. The full-flavored taste of this Spatlese permits the epicure to envision the sweet and juicy Riesling berries of which this wine was made of. This Riesling wine fits extraordinarily well to all kinds of menues, for dishes that either fine or hearty. Good with lobster and other shellfish.
